About this property

One of the luxurious self-catering cottages on The Bodnant Estate.

Tyddyn Derwen is one of 10 luxury self-catering cottages on The Bodnant Estate, a strikingly beautiful agricultural estate in North Wales. Set in hilly and wooded countryside in the lower reaches of the Conwy Valley, it commands spectacular views across to Snowdonia. Stone cottages and farm buildings have been restored using traditional materials and techniques, and the Estate supports farming and encourages other rural activities. Various houses and cottages in scenic positions on the Estate are available for rent as holiday lets. Come and stay in one of them - and enjoy walking on the many miles of private woodland paths winding through the Estate.

The cottage has been delightfully restored to a very high standard and is decorated in a traditional style. It is the perfect secluded and tranquil spot, nestled in woodland and overlooking a field. The cottage lies off a woodland track from where you'll find glorious walks along private paths through woods and across farmland.

There are a number of other properties available to book at the Bodnant Estate; Ty Newydd, sleeping eight guests, Ty Cerrig, sleeping seven guests, Lletty, sleeping six guests, Lletty and Annexe, sleeping eight guests, Garth Iwrch, sleeping four guests, Bryn Derw, sleeping 4 guests, Bryn Rhydd, sleeping four guests, Minafon sleeping two guests, Ty Ucha'r Ffordd, sleeping two guests and Bryn Mawr, sleeping 7 guests.

Weekend away

We had a fabulous time once we found the cottage. Access is from a single track lane, but when you arrive Wow, just beautiful. Extremely quiet except for the occasional Baa from the sheep. The only problem that arose was we had no water Sunday to Monday which we believe was due to the storm, but there was some emergency water to drink. The only downside was that there wasn’t an evening contact on a weekend. Would definately go again though.
